A Field Research on the Concept of Citizenship in Immigrant Integration Policies of Catalonia

Year 2022, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 1 - 33, 30.06.2022

Abstract

Over the last 20 years, Catalonia has experienced a large-scale demographic transformation, with a population growth of roughly one and a half million people of various origins. This study aims to analyze the conception of citizenship in Catalonia’s international immigrant integration policies. In this regard, this study investigates the concepts of citizenship that were included in the public policies developed for the integration of immigrants from 1993, -the year in which the first plan to regulate the phenomenon of international migration in Catalonia was established-to 2020. According to the results of this study, the concept of citizenship is defined as the orientation towards the population as a whole and with an implicit reference to bilateral integration policies. Catalonia’s inclination to extend the citizenship status of immigrants indicates that key competencies in terms of integration are in fact demands posed to the state. The data of this research is based on the analysis of literature on immigration and integration policy, also semi-structured interviews conducted in Spanish with key social and political figures in the community-level planning, and such policies in the Autonomous Community of Catalonia, Spain.

Katalonya’nın Göçmen Entegrasyon Politikalarında Vatandaşlık Kavramı Üzerine Bir Alan Araştırması

Year 2022, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 1 - 33, 30.06.2022

Abstract

Son 20 yılda Katalonya’da, çeşitli kökenlerden yaklaşık bir buçuk milyonluk bir nüfus artışıyla büyük bir demografik dönüşüm yaşanmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı, Katalonya’nın uluslararası göçmen entegrasyon politikalarında vatandaşlık anlayışını analiz etmektir. Bu kapsamda, Katalonya’da uluslararası göç olgusunu yönetmeye yönelik ilk planın onaylandığı yıl olan 1993’ten 2020 yılına kadar göçmenlerin entegrasyonuna yönelik geliştirilen kamu politikalarında hangi vatandaşlık anlayışının yer aldığı ve bu anlayışın hangi amaçla kullanılmakta olduğu analiz edilmektedir. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre, temel anlamlar arasında vatandaşlık, ilişkisel ve topluluk anlayışının desteklenmesi, bir topluluğun üyeleri olarak ve çift yönlü entegrasyon politikalarına örtük bir referansta bir bütün olarak nüfusa yönelik bir yönelim olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Esasen, Katalonya’nın göçmenlerin vatandaşlık statüsünü genişletme iradesi, entegrasyon açısından kilit yetkinliklerin devlet önünde bir talep olduğunu da göstermektedir. Çalışmanın verileri, göç ve entegrasyon politikasının belli başlı yazılı dokümanlarının analizi ve İspanya’nın Katalonya Özerk Topluluğunda, bu politikaların Topluluk düzeyinde planlamasında sosyal ve siyasi kilit konumundaki aktörlerle yüz yüze İspanyolca dilinde yapılan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmelere dayanmaktadır.
